Last Notes npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I havent been on very much recently because I was very sick but you can follow me! I just meme and talk about books. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters GM Nostr, Does anyone know the best place to buy an antminer S19 that is safe/cheap? I'm skeptical of the ones on Amazon, but on Bitmain they are so much more expensive. Asking for a friend. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters GM brother. I just hopped back into Nostr after being gone for a while, what did I miss? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Number go up technology has proven time and time again that all fiat will inevitably fail. All fiat prints itself out of existence. It will come Jimmy! It is written! npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I feel empathy for our enemies, because they cannot stop what was meant to be. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters has* npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Plebs! A friend is asking, is there any custodial wallet that lets you store USD and also had lightning? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters If you put your fiat into USDC, you deserve it. This was always going to happen. You were handing your money over to an unregulated, unaudited security who was quite literally filling their reserves with US Treasuries. If you wanted to invest in a shitcoin, why didn't you just go to the treasuries in the first place instead of trusting someone else to do it for you? This is why we Bitcoin. Trust isn't necessary anymore. Just sound money. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Almost everywhere on Earth has slavery - thats what prison is. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters https://i.imgur.com/HriFHiJ.png npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters #[0] Howdy Jack, got any of them Bluesky invites?

With time *everyone* is going to have to start using paid relays because it's inevitably going to flood with millions of spam accounts. Relay operators are going to have to manually filter out these accounts. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Twitter is the public square - if there were Gestapo roaming the square who will carry you away for saying what you really think π npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Who would have thought a single non 'non-fungible' satoshi would be worth.. a single satoshi npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/run-private-nostr-relay/ This is the guide I used to play around with it! npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters On this day 187 years ago, February 23, 1836, the Battle of the Alamo began. 257 Texans died defending the Alamo against a government they did not recognize. Today, The San Antonio City Council voted 9-2 to authorize the use of eminent domain to acquire Moses Roseβs Hideout on East Houston Street, which sits in the footprint of a planned Alamo Visitor Center and Museum. Those Texans did not die so you could become what they were fighting against. Shame on you San Antonio City Council. You are not Texans. You are thieves. You are a disgrace to those who died defending the Alamo in the first place. https://i.imgur.com/vjYkM8c.png npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FX9RthjXwAE0Lvf.jpg npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters 300 kb, for the kids. Money should be money. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I could dig it. You would probably need to have a custodial wallet with whatever client you were using though I presume. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I feel seen. Thanks for the reminder, enjoy this zap β‘ npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I showed my aunt how to use Lightning the other day. I had her download Phoenix wallet, showed her how simple it was to create an invoice, and then sent her 50,000 sats. The transfer went through almost immediately. We went back and forth a few times so she could get the hang of it. It's blows peoples minds when you tell them that sending lightning back and forth isn't the same as me sending money from my bank account to their bank account - it's using my own private bank that I own to fully settle a transaction with their own private bank. There is no middle man. We are just doing what banks do but cheaper, faster, trustless, and permissionless. Central Banking simply does not stand a chance. It's an improvement in every vector as an individual. The only thing Bitcoin is bad for - is banks. In my experience, this is the quickest way to explain the big picture behind 'why' Bitcoin is so important. You want to get people to be Bullish on Bitcoin - show them that it just works better. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters By default Phoenix connects to random Electrum servers in order to access the Bitcoin blockchain. You can also choose to connect to your own Electrum server. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Phoenix is the best in my opinion. Not a fan of custodial wallets like Wallet of Satoshi. Zap Wallet and Breez are good and have lots of features. For me, I don't need any bloated software, I just need it to simply transact, so Phoenix it is. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Friendly reminder that the US Government will burn innocent children because they don't want you to have guns.

I'd consider myself a BTC Maxi but I could see the argument for why XMR payments would be used here. Do any of you guys know if there is someone implementing this/interested in doing it/already did? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I dont think so, I've definitely seen it on other apps though. I'm sure Amethyst is due for many QOL updates. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Which web client are you using on mobile? Any reccomendations? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Slow seems to be a relay thing for me rather than the app itself. Definitely seen a few bugs and have been forced to restart the app. I've never tried Nostrgram, do you think its better than Amethyst? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I don't know if there is a way on amethyst to tell if someone is following you on their profile but on my profile I can see all my followers. Click on your profile picture at the top, not the home button. The home button is more like the followed feed on Twitter. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters What kind of issues are you having? I've had a few small ones here and there. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters It works pretty great, I've had a few small issues like the upload image button not working. The best part about Nostr is if it doesn't work, I can just easily switch apps π€ npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Looks like Amethyst added Zaps now too. I've been jumping between that and Iris, but I might just use Amethyst now. What is everyones preference currently? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters π€ zapped npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Thanks brother, I'll pay it forward! npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Oh no, maybe we should tie an ordinal number to all 21 quadrillion sats. We could keep track of where they go individually. Imagine the possibilities, we could finally have monkey.jpeg on native Bitcoin! npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Banks hate him! npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I like it when you talk dirty to me.

Give them access to a way to recieve assistance at scale. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters The only 'real' problem Bitcoin has is that most people who own Bitcoin aren't using Bitcoin. It's beautiful to see people actually using Bitcoin en masse here on Nostr via zaps. Normalize using Bitcoin. Reject centralization. Zap everyone. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_83a828a40bb93bc2d18c7f6926f7c3c7f7f29303596c96cc4203f4a5577a3b75.jpeg npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Best part about Bitcoin is it will still be useless to them.

Have you had more success with sticking to DuoLingo, or is it just easier to remember? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Diet is definitely what kills me I think. I don't eat an insane amount of calories but It's hard to cram tons of protein in and also carbs are delicious. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Way more jacked than I could ever be. Whats the secret? I do a simple routine with a 24kg kettlebell 3-4 days a week but have never seen crazy results. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Followed, would love to see more variety of content on here. Where are ya from Dok? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters How is getalby? I've been using Phoenix to orange pill people, it's very simple to use. Download the app, press recieve to create invoice, pay it, boom. Easy, but maybe too simple for the more advanced user. Also, have you tried Zap wallet? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I'd trade all the likes in the world for a satoshi. One sat actually has value! npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Three Amigos, tell your friends. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_83a828a40bb93bc2d18c7f6926f7c3c7f7f29303596c96cc4203f4a5577a3b75.jpeg npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Zaps are legitimately bank to bank transfers. Technology has come so far, we can literally meme about doing what contemporary banks think they are going to be able to keep doing for us. Go ahead and try to send a wire transfer to someone halfway across the world for $2.18(10k sats) and let me know if you think that system is superior. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters 'but my property is more valuable in the future!!'

Can't explain how many times I've had this conversation.. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters There aren't any. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters It's super cool, here is a ton of practical reasons to use PoS: π§΅π npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Ahhh, gotcha! Thanks for the reply. I had not considered that more connections would be more resource intensive but that makes perfect sense. npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I'm a nostr noob, why would I/should I disable any relays? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters I've never used any of those, am I doing this right? npub15aa6zs8uywl4v3t0eej6pl8k2g49nau0h95wetu8hy26wd22n5kqmcl5et winters Do you mean can not? I don't know how the nostr relays work, it's something I still need to dig into. I wonder if relays could come to a consensus to essentially censor posts by putting a filter on top - this is possible on Bitcoin nodes.
